The next day.
It was only early in the morning when Lan Ye impatiently hurried over to the He Lan Yi where Xiao Yan's group was staying. After inquiring about where Xiao Yan's group was staying, he quickly arrived at the place where Xiao Yan's group was staying.
When the boss of the relay station led Lan Ye to this place and was about to knock on Xiao Yan's door, he was stopped by Lan Ye's hand. Lan Ye hesitated for a moment before asking the boss to return. He waited in the courtyard outside the door and quietly waited for Xiao Yan to appear.
After Xiao Yan purged Fang Zhicong's poison the day before, Lan Ye discovered that Fang Zhicong's condition had improved by a lot. Even his speech and actions had become more orderly. He was no longer as foolish as before.
Although this little change did not appear to be big, it allowed Lan Ye to truly see the opportunity for Fang Zhicong to return to his original state. Originally, he could not help but want to come to this place last night. However, he was afraid of disturbing Xiao Yan's rest so he did not rush over. At this moment, seeing that Xiao Yan's room door was tightly shut, Lan Ye patiently waited outside the door in order to prevent Xiao Yan from forming any prejudices.
Just who in the entire Hopeless City could make a late Returnance expert wait like this?
"Creak …"
Unknowingly, Xiao Yan's tightly shut door suddenly opened slowly with the sound of the door rubbing against each other. This movement startled away the two birds lying quietly on the roof in front of the door. At the same time, it also caused Lan Ye, who was resting with his eyes closed, to instantly open his eyes.
"Mister Xiao Yan!"
Seeing that Xiao Yan had appeared, a respectful smile immediately surfaced on Lan Ye's old face. He hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands toward Xiao Yan.
Seeing that Lan Ye was actually here, Xiao Yan's face revealed a surprised expression. A glint that no one could see flashed across his eyes as he spoke in a surprised tone.
"Why has master Lan appeared here?"
Xiao Yan was naturally aware of Lan Ye's appearance. Ever since the moment the latter stepped into the He Lan Yi, all of his actions had already landed in Xiao Yan's eyes. However, Xiao Yan did not say it out loud. The reason why Xiao Yan said this at this moment was to allow Lan Ye to take the initiative to continue the conversation and let him hear the content that he wanted to hear.
"Mister Xiao Yan, it's all thanks to you yesterday that my young master's condition has improved by quite a lot. He's completely different from before. Your Heavenly Flame really is the Force of the World. It really is wondrous."
Lan Ye squinted his eyes slightly when he saw Xiao Yan's doubtful expression. He thought that Xiao Yan was a sly fox before flattering him again.
Lan Ye was an expert who had traversed the continent before after all. His experience was no less than Xiao Yan's, so he could obviously tell that Xiao Yan had purposefully waited for him in the room. If that were not the case, he would not have felt the vague pressure when he entered the Helan Inn. It was clearly the pressure of the soul.
Even though it was not obvious, he could still vaguely sense it with his cultivation at late Returnance.
"It's good as long as there's a change. Actually, I only helped because I felt like I was fated with young master Fang. May I ask why master Lan has come today?"
"You're asking the obvious!"
Lan Ye immediately snorted inside when he heard that. Only then did he grin.
"Mister Xiao Yan, you said yesterday that the poison in my young master's body is not easy to purge. If I want to purge it completely, I'll probably have to purge it several times. As a result, I've come today in hopes of inviting mister Xiao Yan to come with me to the clan and purge the poison in my young master's body. Would that be possible?"
"You're talking about going to the Fang family?"
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow. Lan Ye was quite straightforward.
"Ugh, yes. I hope mister Xiao Yan can forgive me. This matter concerns my young master after all, so the decision will still be up to the patriarch. Although I can predict the outcome, I still have to report this matter to the higher-ups first. As a result, I hope mister Xiao Yan can come with me."
"This …"
"Hehe, moreover, my patriarch has said that if someone can purge the poison in my young master's body, he will invite that person to become a guest elder of the Fang family. At the same time, he will be able to enjoy any of the clan's resources."
Lan Ye once again opened his mouth just as Xiao Yan was hesitating. The words that he spat out immediately caused Xiao Yan to be moved.
He was worried that he couldn't find the other important ingredients to refine the Mirror Breaking Pill. This way, with the support of the Fang family's resources, he believed that he would definitely be able to gather those ingredients in the shortest amount of time and refine the Mirror Breaking Pill. At that time, the strength of his group would be able to increase again.
Of course, these medicinal ingredients were only one of the reasons. The most important thing was still the unknown patriarch of the Fang family.
According to Xiao Yan's guess, the other party's cultivation was at least in the Origin King Realm. If he really saved Fang Zhicong's life, the patriarch of the Fang family would definitely owe him a favor. Killing two birds with one stone, why not?
"Since that's the case, I'll go with Master Lan!"
This thought swiftly spun in Xiao Yan's heart. Soon after, Xiao Yan nodded his head heavily. Lan Ye in front of him finally sighed in relief. Although he could imagine Xiao Yan's motive for doing this, there was always a mutual relationship between people. If they wanted to use Xiao Yan to remove the poison in Fang Zhicong's body, they would naturally have to pay a certain price. As long as the precondition was that the Fang clan was not harmed, nothing else mattered.
"It's just that …"
However, at this moment, Xiao Yan spoke again. Lan Ye's heart seemed to stop for a moment.
"I hope that my friends can come with me," said Jian Chen.
Xiao Yan opened his mouth and the doors on the other two sides of the courtyard opened. The figures of Luo Jin and the others stepped out. Sunlight scattered down and reflected a circle of human figures on the ground in the middle of the courtyard.
"Ugh …"
Lan Ye looked at the few additional people who had suddenly appeared around him. The expression on his old face was immediately startled. His gaze swiftly swept over Luo Jin and Bai Hua. When it swept over the Towering Sky Ape, his pair of deep old eyes involuntarily paused. A glint flashed deep within them. After which, he looked at Xiao Yan in front of him and said with a smile,
He smiled and said, "Since they're mister Xiao Yan's friends, there's nothing wrong with going with them."
As he said that, Lan Ye secretly let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, only he and Xiao Yan were Returnance experts. If there were a few more, he probably would have to worry about his current situation.
Xiao Yan immediately smiled with satisfaction when he heard Lan Ye's words. His gaze swiftly swept over Luo Jin and the others. After which, he spoke a little more with the few of them. Once all the preparations were completed, the group found Fang Zhicong under Lan Ye's lead. They exited the city from the east and headed in the direction of the Fang clan.
Not long after this group of people left the city, four middle-aged men appeared from a short distance outside the eastern city gate. They looked at each other and nodded. Immediately, they moved and followed behind the group.
